XCSP700

thanks for the reply. i was gonna spin up the distrbutor in the machine...how much total timing can you run on 87? i was planning on something around 36 all in by 2500ish and trying to limit the vacuum advance to 40 degrees. anyone have any input?

My neighbor bought an 85 GL wagon 2wd 5 speed, ea82 carb, super stiripped down (manual windows, ac delete, no radio, etc) It needs a clutch. I'm planning on pulling the motor to do the clutch and resealing it since it has leaked about a half a qt of oil in my driveway in the past 24 hrs. I'm shocked with the amount of vac lines and other hoses that run around under the hood. many of them a re cracked, a few of the solinoids are broken and it is a real mess. If I convert the car to a weber with one of the redline kits can I remove all this other crap from under the hood? The car is exempt from emissions testing because of its age. Why are there 2 vac lines in the distributor? is there a normal mechanical advance in the distributor? What vacum lines need to stay in place? There seem to be a few that run into the firewall (maybe for heater controls?) It would be nice to clean up this mess in the engine bay. Even if only to simplify maintenece on it. Thanks -Rich
